Doubt that will ever happen.

There was someone who did the hair piece was $400! At which point you might as well pay the extra and get one on the aftermarket!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Oh well, I guess I'll learn to love the DX38

HT will almost certainly do another artisan Jack too.

I doubt it, but we’ll see. I’ll have completed my kitbash only for them to announce a proper OG trilogy new version and then I’d have to sell off the kitbash lol

Decided to finally get the MMS42 AWE set off eBay to get the hat, vest, the Piece of Eight, and anything else I need for the AWE conversion!

Your base figure is the new DX37/8/9 right?

It is! Still have a payment left on Sideshow.

Have never owned a Jack figure before.

I can’t think of anything else then, the belt furs on the MMS are nicer than Dx06 or Dx15, but the new ones are the best. One thing I contemplated before is cutting the black wrist wrap off the MMS right hand and seeing how it would look on a DX, just because the sculpting captures the exact look better than the cloth DX one.

Shocked we haven't seen any hat offerings yet

I mainly got the MMS for the hat and vest, but I’ll definitely look into everything else I can use for the kitbash.

I think I’m also going to send the hands to someone who can rectify the unpainted palm gloves and maybe repaint/remove the knuckle tats and cheek ‘x’ tattoo.

Not sure how far into modding you’d want to go, but here are some thoughts on the AWE parts

Pants- these will be quite loose around the waist due to the larger body the MMS has compared to the slim from later releases. So you may want to cinch them at the back to get a tighter fit. I felt they were a little too baggy which is why I chose not to use them. But they’re probably your best bet in terms of color.

Belts- these have more accurate colors for the belts and the buckles for AWE, but the buckles are smaller/out of scale unfortunately. But, they would be good reference should you want to repaint the buckler and/or repaint the belts. If you were to repaint the belts, I’d go for some Angelus leather paints.

Definitely don’t use the shirt.

just for clarity, the ‘x’ on his cheek is a scar, not a tattoo

If you want a wrist wrap that’s accurately sculpted, the Ultimate Unison one is the most accurate and made out of the a pliable rubber material. I might still have mine somewhere. Can’t remember if I sold it or kept it.

just tell yourself that the Artisan "rooted" dreds are so much thicker and out of scale!

 

[hokietwo]

This hairpiece for the artisan is so well done even if the dreads are a bit thick, it is a shame the hat is so bad. No diecast sword and hands is a bit of a bummer as well. I've got almost every hat to try with MMS42, Enterbay UU, DX06. As other's have said the plastic hat really does the trick so I am sure the AWE 42 or UU with work, shame need to source it ourselves to make Jack look as good as it should.

 

[Godfather1408]

All we need is kit to cast a hat and offer it!
Wouldn't say no to a expression sculpt also.

Lol. Does that work well for you?
